ABSTRACT Analogy-based design is an effective approach for innovative design involving knowledge representation, analogical sources retrieval, mapping between two systems, and adaptation of candidate solutions. The knowledge representation is the first task to determine whether analogy can be implemented successfully. It is, therefore, necessary to have an efficient description method for knowledge representation and information retrieval. Based on the Structure-Behaviour-Function (SBF) model, this paper proposes an R-SBF model to integrate the flow, structure, behaviour and function of design knowledge. Relational types of states are used to describe the information behaviour with relations of ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘not’, ‘sequence’, ‘parallel’ and ‘feedback’. The R-SBF ontology model is constructed using the ontology editing tool Protégé 5.2.0 to link the knowledge representation and analogues retrieval. In the proposed algorithm of computing function similarity, both the semantic similarity and conceptual correlation are considered for the query scalability. The evaluation criteria for feasibility include Recall, Precision, and F-measure. An analogy-aided design innovation software prototype is developed to support the design activity. The improvement of a robot vacuum cleaner is discussed as an example of applications of the proposed method. The solution illustrates the effectiveness of the analogical stimuli to facilitate the design performance.

基于R-SBF本体模型的类比刺激检索方法

摘要 基于类比的设计是一种有效的创新设计方法，涉及知识表示、类比资源检索、两个系统之间的映射以及候选解决方案的适应。知识表示是决定类比能否成功实施的首要任务。因此，需要有一种高效的描述方法来进行知识表示和信息检索。基于结构-行为-功能（SBF）模型，本文提出了一种R-SBF模型，将设计知识的流动、结构、行为和功能整合在一起。状态的关系类型用于描述具有“与”、“或”、“非”、“顺序”、“并行”和“反馈”关系的信息行为。R-SBF 本体模型是使用本体编辑工具 Protégé 5.2 构建的。0 链接知识表示和类似物检索。在所提出的计算函数相似度的算法中，查询可扩展性同时考虑了语义相似度和概念相关性。可行性的评估标准包括召回率、精度和 F-措施。开发类比辅助设计创新软件原型以支持设计活动。作为所提出方法的应用示例，讨论了机器人真空吸尘器的改进。该解决方案说明了类比刺激对促进设计性能的有效性。可行性的评估标准包括召回率、精度和 F-措施。开发类比辅助设计创新软件原型以支持设计活动。作为所提出方法的应用示例，讨论了机器人真空吸尘器的改进。该解决方案说明了类比刺激对促进设计性能的有效性。可行性的评估标准包括召回率、精度和 F-措施。开发类比辅助设计创新软件原型以支持设计活动。作为所提出方法的应用示例，讨论了机器人真空吸尘器的改进。该解决方案说明了类比刺激对促进设计性能的有效性。
